V87: Traffic accident of specified type but victim's mode of transport unknown
V87.6: Person injured in collision between railway train or railway vehicle and car (traffic)
The ICD-10 code V87.6 corresponds to injuries sustained by a person in a collision between a railway train or railway vehicle and a car in a traffic setting. This can encompass various types of physical trauma such as fractures, dislocations, internal injuries, open wounds, concussions, and contusions depending upon the severity of the collision. It's also possible for psychological traumas like acute stress reactions to occur. The condition is marked by acute presentations caused directly by the traumatic event, meaning the symptoms would vary depending upon the nature and severity of the injuries sustained. It's important to remember that symptoms could emerge immediately after the event or could be delayed in some cases, depending upon the injury.
